The first nanostructured sheets combining lightness, strength and transparency

On a nanometric scale of the material, our researchers have managed to incorporate

an elastomer which brings previously unattainable properties to acrylic glass, and this

without reducing its transparency.

While maintaining the defining advantages of classic PMMA: transparency, lightness,

insensitivity to UV rays and being easy to machine, the Altuglas® ShieldUp sheet

enhances these with convincing features. Its resistance to shocks and excellent chemical

resistance open up infinite new development opportunities for this revolutionary sheet.

.

Acrylic sheet (polymethylmethacrylate) combines two

components - PMMA and an elastomer, structured at

the nanoscale - which allows for complete transparency

while optimising other properties such as mechanical

and chemical resistance.

Altuglas® ShieldUp:a nanostructured acrylic glass sheet that’s both light and solid

that is 50% lighter than glass and more transparent,

Altuglas® ShieldUp responds to the challenge

faced by the transport industry to find lighter, stronger

materials.

Reducing the weight of a vehicle by 100 kg means

a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by

0.4 litres and about 1kg respectively for every 100km,

without reducing performance.»

Transport A crystal clear view through panoramic

car roofs, at any temperature.

Cars, Motorbike, Aeronautics (light passenger aircraft,

helicopters), Boats, Agricultural and Construction-site

Machinery, Trains and more.

Compatible with main coatings in order to obtain an

optimum abrasion resistance.

Photovoltaics and solar thermics The remarkable transparency lightness and durability can

be taken advantage of in photovoltaic and solar thermal

energy applications.

The formulation of the acrylic sheet reinforces chemical

resistance to aggressive agents such as alcohol, acetone

or other cleaning products.

For the success of your project,

the technical teams adapt to your needs, designing

a product according to your chosen specifications!

On request, the sheets will be produced transparent,

either Colourless or Coloured:

with a thickness from 3mm to 12mm, a format of

3m X 2m and in a variety of finishes (gloss, matt)

depending on your needs.

Altuglas® ShieldUp: The nanostructured acrylic sheet

Exceptional possibilities for a variety of applications

An exceptional material with numerous strong points

This combination of properties significantly broadens the number of common applications for PMMA and offers exceptional possibilities for industries such as:

Altuglas® ShieldUp: a light glass-replacement, a “revolutionary” product

Altuglas® ShieldUp resists shocks and doesn’t bleach no matter what the temperature

Altuglas® ShieldUp resists aggressive chemicals

Naturally resistant to UV light, PMMA is the most

resistant polymer to rays and is often used outside.

Additives commonly used to improve the impact

resistance of acrylic sheets cause a deterioration of

transparency under high temperatures.

Altuglas® ShieldUp benefits from polymerisation

technology developed by Arkema’s R&D department:

BlocBuilder® technology. It gives us complete control

over polymer architecture at the nanometric scale.

The result is a sheet far more resilient to shock and

which retains complete transparency regardless of

the temperature. Safety glazing Guaranteeing the security of public

places: from break-in resistant windows to vanity mirrors.

Choose the winning combination for your needs!

This acrylic glass is «meshed» and structured at the scale of a billionth of a metre to maximize its properties. The result: a light sheet combining strength and transparency no matter what the temperature.
